Although Nandi has been working with wood for more than 30 years, he now spends more time with people than products. His experience building in the shop, drafting in the office and installing in the field make him a perfect project manager. Part of his job is to act as the client’s liaison. He enjoys discovering what will make the customer happy and then working with his team to make it happen.
A graduate of U.C. Berkeley with an Arts degree, Nandi uses his knowledge of both aesthetics and the woodworking industry to combine form and function in Rivendell’s designs. He also studied AutoCAD at Diablo Valley College to incorporate the architectural element. He loves the challenge of creative engineering.
Nandi paints and draws for pleasure, but his primary medium is sculpting. He sculpts weekly with a group at Pixar, where he has had the opportunity to meet amazing artists. He’s a proud husband and father who likes to hike and camp with his family. They recently took up indoor rock climbing with the goal of taking that into the outside world as well.
